on Saturday i got to speak on social media & content strategy at my first IRL event 🥹
i'm still processing all the emotions but it was amazing to speak at The Retreat by FWDHer.
in my session i talked to the women founders about building a content strategy you can actually sustain.
we went through an exercise to help them ideate content ideas by starting with a "thesis" that helps ground their useful content & then commit to a repeatable practice rhythm
then we moved on to how to execute that useful content using different production levels in mind:
🌱high effort: think an edited video or designed carousel)
🌱medium effort: think a one-take video, repurposed video, picture carousel/photo dump or text or graphic photo + caption)
🌱low effort: think photo with caption, short text post or simple story)
your content shouldn't be built on high-effort posts alone. a mix of effort levels and repurposing is what keeps it sustainable.
the takeaway i left them with: you don't need to post every day. you need one idea, three ways to use it (teach, prove, invite), and a rhythm you can return to when the week gets busy.
this was my first time speaking/teaching like this IRL, and it reinforced what i believe about content: it works best as a practice, not a pressure. 🌻
if you're planning a retreat, workshop, or event and want a speaker on social media & content strategy, i'd love to talk.
and if you're a founder or brand that needs a strategist to build a content practice you can actually sustain, you can book time with me here: https://contra.com/s/m6ZFFBev-the-consult-a-single-strategy-session
what does a social media strategist do that differs from a social media manager? i'm so glad you asked!
i just shared what scope of work looked like for the 3isfor team when I served as their social media strategist working alongside their social media manager & creative director.
Good work
